'It Was Tough To Stay Focused Until The End': Mensik Saves 7 Match Points For First Major SF At Roland Garros
Roland Garros: Jakub Mensik held his nerve to convert the seventh match point to overcome Brazil's Joao Fonseca 6-4, 6-3, 7-6(3) and sealed his first major semi-final at Roland Garros.
The match was the youngest men's Paris quarterfinals since Nadal defeated Djokovic in 2006. Moreover, the 20-year-old Mensik became the first man born in 2004 or later to reach the last four of a major tournament.
The contest marked a significant milestone for both players, who were competing in their first major quarter-final. Yet it was Mensik who rose to the occasion and became the first Czech man to reach a Grand Slam semifinal in almost a decade, since top 10 mainstay and 2010 Wimbledon finalist Tomas Berdych reached the last of his major semifinals at Wimbledon in 2017.
